Convergence of mobile devices and wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Pervasive computing with mobile devices and wireless sensor networks has been identified as a future area of research. Wireless sensors have the possibility to sense the surrounding world, while mobile devices offer a sophisticated user interface together with the well-known cellular services to the symbiotic partnership. The strength of the envisioned convergence is shown throughout the next chapters and here possible architecture forms are classified. © 2007 Springer.
